Synopsis

You've felt it—the underlying anxiety that you're missing out on the good life. So you zone out, swipe up, slim down, work hard, and spin in circles trying to get it.

Anjuli Paschall calls it carpe diem syndrome—the fear of not living life to the fullest.

But the full life isn't found by chasing it. It's found by coming awake to it. As she puts it: "I want to be awake. I don't want to nervously navigate my life one to-do list, email, and espresso shot at a time. When my life comes to a slow halt, I want to know I savored the small moments and watched the sky change color. I want to know I didn't rush through life but received it. I want to know I came to peace with my weaknesses, loved people fearlessly, and walked with God faithfully. I hope I gave in to the audacious belief that I was loved and, miraculously, even liked."

And now, Anjuli casts a compelling vision for you to live a soul-awake life too.

The invitation might be as gentle as a song—or as abrupt as a rooster's crow—but God is always waking you up. You can have the life you really want, and you don't have to lose your soul trying to get it.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Full life is right here.

Goodreads review by Lori

I originally started listening to this book. The author’s prose is so amazingly beautiful that I felt like I was missing so much just listening. So I switched to the written version and highlighted my way through the rest of the book. Such a lovely work that did my heart and souls so much good. Beau......more

I once told this author (through a mutual friend) that I love her writing so much that I’d read her grocery list. I still stand by that. The author’s writing is beautiful. She has a way of capturing her story so genuinely and expresses it almost poetically. With every sentence and page I felt my sou......more

Anjuli’s writing has a way of making you feel like you are sitting with a friend in your living room. Her words are gentle and full of love and brought me to tears several times as she reminded me of God’s presence, goodness, and love in my life. I love how creatively she writes God’s truths and pro......more

Goodreads review by Amanda

Anjuli really has a way with words. It's funny how sometimes God puts a book in your hands right when you need it most and that is the case with this one. Had I read it earlier I just wouldn't have 'gotten it', I wasn't there yet. It felt like a pep talk when I needed one the most.......more
